by a quirk of government back in 2006 we gave the u.s. postal thofs rule it needs to free fund retiree health care benefits. it is the only federal agency that is required to do so. this is creating all kinds of financial turmoil because the post office can't afford to do this. that is very heart of sunday's $5.6 billion shortfall. >> heather: so more details for our viewers at home. that law passed in 2006, for the postal service to make an annual payment for ten years that would cover the retiree benefits for postal workers for 75 years. they want to restructure the fund. is that realistic long term solution and will that alone provide the relief that the postal service needs? >> you know, i think it is -- it very much the crux of this entire thing. that is huge lag on the postal service. what was responsible for last month's shortfall and what is responsible for tomorrow's short fall. we'll see one huge step in the right direction. but we have to keep in mind, here we have the post office which was established in our constitution. 225

i don't think, absolute democratic or representative form of government, self-determined form of government can truly exist without somebody watching it and criticizing it and going after the government all the time. we have brought this to an extreme level of exquisite -- here in the united states. freedom of the press criticizes everything all the time. and we love. it's our system. wouldn't want it any other way. and so i think we can now bring that about but it requires a change in attitude and the part of government leaders to accept being criticized. we've seen some slip backward in recent times, who thought they were going to do this and realize hey, this is very uncomfortable, and have pushed back and are becoming less open to press criticism. you see it frequently, but i think that's part of the institution building. laws, institutions, free society, open society, the ability of nongovernmental institutions to function and do things that could be critical of the government, and above all freedom of the press, and resourced to courts. if you feel your rights have been violated, eith

it is spent on propping up other governments. we are funding the insurgents in syria, and one-quarter of the insurgents in syria are supposed to be al qaeda. did we not do this in afghanistan? did we not bankroll osama bin laden? what we ought to have learned is that these military interventions make enemies to the united states, people who are affected by this. these drones strikes, yes, we hit the targets, but we wipe out another quarter block. we kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians living in these countries that we are ostensibly there to help. we are just continuing to make more and more enemies. it is no surprise that the unrest in the middle east is occurring right now. i would get out of our embassies in the middle east. why are we giving targets to demonstrators that are just looking for targets in the middle east? that is not showing weakness. that is just showing we have got common sense. where is the common sense? host: our next caller, good morning to you. caller: governor johnson, i will be voting for you ev

embassy, it's not a government. we should be denunciatory and we should punish. i doubt that there is a single country in the world in western civilization that would not have immediately called back its ambassador in egypt. still possible. and suddenly cut off or put in terms related to the 2 billion that egypt receives from the united states, and i'm sure libya receives money. i don't know how much, but i'm sure it does. the climate was even greater because the american ambassador in libya has held the so-called arab spring. i had never been supportive of the air spring. the columnist at the times and elsewhere, i said to myself, we are jettisoning people. they're not great people, but at least their friends were people who i am sure will turn out to be hostile to us. it doesn't make any sense. why should anybody justice in the future? and not talking about mubarak and how we threw him under the bus. those were the background facts that caused me to react strongly . >> congressman, you are very much the beneficiar
